The Mental and Physical toll
Post Body

(Sorry for the long read) I'm a 23yo/M. 11B, Currently a Specialist stationed In Fort Campbell. Over the course of My enlistment I've been hiding a few things. Along with a multitude of injuries getting worse with time, I've had a growing issue with anxiety. Which has evolved into a full blown panic disorder of some sort. As a result I've developed insomnia. I've let both disorders fester into something quite nasty. A combination of not wanting to affect my career, and the social stigma still surrounding mental health in the military; as well as a healthy amount of alcohol abuse all amounted to a complete mental breakdown. Which resulted in my body shitting the bed, (A Loss of 50 lbs and my nutrition levels being out of wack), as well as a visit to the psych ward. I've got about a year or so left of my contract. I want desperately to finish it out. They've put me on Sleeping medication and Zoloft for the Anxiety. Which both seem to affect the way I live/am able to do my job. But my leadership still doesn't seem to give two shits. At the end of the day, all that really matters is black and white results. How do I traverse this? Where do I go from here? Is it just gonna have to be a "suck it up and get through it" kinda thing or is actual change even something that's conceivable?
